[Feature] Show Warning in Android App When Backups Are Paused Due to Paid/Carrier Wi-Fi

The feature

On Android, Immich pauses automatic backups when the device is connected to a metered, paid, or carrier-managed Wi-Fi network (e.g., hotel Wi-Fi, hotspots, captive portals). Currently, the app does not inform the user that backups are not running, which can lead to confusion and missed backups.

Requested improvements:

In-app warning or status indicator when backups are paused due to a metered/paid Wi-Fi connection.

For example: “Backups paused due to metered Wi-Fi connection.”

Add a log entry to the Immich logs whenever backups are skipped or paused for this reason.

This would make troubleshooting easier and provide clarity in the activity history.
